Note di degustazione
The 2001 Cote Rotie’s deep ruby color is accompanied by explosive aromas of sweet raspberry fruit intermixed with a hint of apricots (7-8% Viognier is added to the blend). Well-delineated and floral, with a cherry/raspberry fruit component beautifully displayed, this medium-bodied 2001 is not a blockbuster, but it wins the taster over with its delicacy and finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012. The son of the late Robert Jasmin continues to demonstrate a fine touch with his elegant, finesse-styled Cote Roties, which emerge from three hillside vineyards above the village of Ampuis.

(aging in 30% new oak, higher than usual for this domain) Good red-ruby. Slightly dusty aromas of red fruits, leather and oak; a bit coarse for a wine from this domain. High-toned cherry, raspberry and pepper flavors show moderate ripeness and a complicating hint of pepper. On the lean side but juicy, finishing with peppery oak spices and a faint dryness. A sample from a new Hungarian barrique showed tangy red fruit and mineral notes and a strong spicy character.
